I am a newbie and would like to use Ansible to automate network operation tasks, right now I am only interested in fact collection. I have been using the “raw” module which is not very flexible, hence I decided to install (from GitHub) ansible 2.2.0 to try the “ios\_facts” module. First I was using paramiko, but it failed to open SFTP connection. Then I tried default ansible config, but it was complaining about SSH (“SSH Error: data could not be sent to the remote host. Make sure this host can be reached over ssh”) so I changed “scp\_if\_ssh” to true. Now it says "“failed to transfer file to Line has invalid autocommand "/bin/sh -c ( umask 77 && mkdir -p ""/ios\_facts.py:\n\nPrivilege denied.\n” and the command won’t run.

What am I missing here? Could someone provide an example ad-hoc command or an example playbook?

Environment: 3.13.0-93-generic Ubuntu 14, Perl 5.18.2-2ubuntu1.1

Thanks in advance!
